Any list can only be interpreted based on the criteria that were used to formulate it. When a list purports to be “greatest men’s basketball programs of all time”, that’s misleading because it doesn’t specify what they’re “greatest” at. For example, a list based exclusively on national championships would look different than a list based on program wins.

Just as an example of how lists can look different, I’m going to presents a list, based on success limited to success in the tournaments era (1938-present) and based solely on  national championships + final fours with NCs weighted more heavily, with Elite 8’s used as a tiebreaker, and with adjustments made for the NIT era:

1. UCLA
2. North Carolina
3. Kentucky
4. Duke
5. Kansas
6. Louisville
7. Indiana
8. UConn
9. Michigan State
10. Villanova
12. San Francisco
13. Michigan
14. Florida
15. Ohio State
16. Syracuse
17. NC State
18. Oklahoma State
19.Georgetown
20. St. John’s
21. Arizona
22. Arkansa
23. Utah
24. UNLV
25. Loyola (Chi)
